BLUES FOR AN ALABAMA SKY- A REVIEW
It is rare that the main character evoke so many emotions in a play, they have you rooting for them and simultaneously against them. If there was an era I could live in, it would be the Harlem Renaissance; to be in the thick of it and to see Black creatives thrive in their element……

EATS- AKOKO, MAYFAIR
Innovation with a nod to tradition; I do love when chefs take risks with tastes and harness it into something daring and well… innovative. Akoko is such a place. Ten courses or so we had of the tasting menu, plate after plate of beautifully plated and splendidly delicious food. Located in Mayfair; check on that,…

LONDON | TIFFANY, VISION AND VIRTUOSITY
When I was about twenty-one, those Tiffany tag bracelets were all the rage, so I saved all my money earned from working Saturdays in Russell & Bromley to buy myself one; I think I still have it actually. Back then it was a sign of… youth and frivolity, and proper high fashion. All the girls…

LONDON- N.W.
Kilburn Park is my special part of London. I lived here on the council estates across the road from Maida Vale. I loved it here. The closeness to everything and the real sense of community spirit there was back then. Some might say its gentrified today, but it is still my favourite thing about having…

LONDON | YAYOI KUSAMA @ VICTORIA MIRO
If there is one artist whose work constantly intrigues in its uniqueness or abstract simplicity it is Yayoi Kusama. It is much more than just dots, it is a seamless manipulation of something so simple which she makes even more remarkable. An astonishing presentation of art that inspires and enchants. Her vivid softness, makes even…

JAMES BARNOR | ACCRA / LONDON: A RETROSPECTIVE
There are moments in life you want to look back on and hold on to because you will never relive them, but they will always stay with you. The day I saw this retrospective is one of such. It was the day I met not one, but two legends of photography. Not only did I…
